"Stop feeling insecure, Chae."

 

"But...   I'm sorry for being childish."

 

 

 

 

 

The idea of having Chaeyeon by her side for the whole of one week was indeed making Jieqiong look forward to every single day. The older would make her appearance outside Plediz Girls dorm as early as four in the morning to spend time with her by sending her to her workplace. Although she liked it, but at the same time It also worried Jieqiong if she's making Chaeyeon even more tired although she herself had asked for a week's break. But seeing how Jieqiong had saw her girlfriend the next morning for the third day with puffed eyes, she decided that she's indeed making Chaeyeon even more tired. 

 

"Good morning, sweetie." Chaeyeon greeted with a small smile, trying to surpress her little yawn. Jieqiong sighed and pulled Chaeyeon in to her dorm without any words like how she would usually say. 

 

"Something wrong?" Chaeyeon questioned since she saw how the younger was so unresponsive unlike the other two days she was.

 

Jieqiong pouted then pulled her to the living room and forced the tired idol to sit on the couch. Chaeyeon looked around and found out that the lights were dim and she could even hear how some of the members were snoring ever so lightly from their rooms. 

 

"Didn't i told you that my schedule would only start at seven in the morning? Why did you come so early?" Jieqiong folded her arm against her chest and stared at Chaeyeon, "I told you to rest more, didn't i?"

 

Chaeyeon then puffed her cheeks out and laid her head on the younger's lap, staring up at the girl's eyes who looked confused by her actions.

 

"I'm having difficulties sleeping, Kyul..." she started and she could already see how Jieqiong's eyes had soften.

 

"Why?" Jieqiong questioned softly as her hands travelled up to her girlfriend's locks to caress them, while Chaeyeon sighed in satification and rubbed her face against Jieqiong's free hand which was pinching her cheeks lightly.

 

Jieqiong knows that it was because of those anti-fans. 

Those anti-fans who were so childish to hurt a innocent pup like Chaeyeon.

Jieqiong also knows how those negative comments would bring Chaeyeon's confidence down to the pit.

But she doesn't want to remind the latter of it.

 

"Chae.." 

 

"Hm?"

 

Although it was quite uncomfortable for her, Jieqiong still leaned down to place a chaste kiss on Chaeyeon's pink lips with an encouraging smile latched to her lips.

 

"I admired how you bravely told the world that you did something to your face. Although you did something, but it still looks natural Chae. I love how your nose is and how you look. Don't you know how many people out there are dying to have your face? People are just jealous of you. Don't get their negativity get into your head. Think about those who admires and love you as who you are." 

 

Chaeyeon's heart begin to melt like an ice cream placed under the scorching sun at the younger's sincere words. Her stomach was churning in a good way and her eyes begin to sting as clouds soon covered her vison.

 

"Think about me, Chaeyeon. I'm always here to give you all the love you are looking for. So please, don't ever listen to others and get discourage. Alright? You amazing, beautiful and more than you ever know." 

 

"Jieqiong..." Chaeyeon lets her tears flow out quietly at the younger's touching words. She wasn't crying because she's sad about her anti-fans. But instead, it was because she was extremely grateful towards Jieqiong for her words and encouragment. Chaeyeon couldn't hold herself back but to sit up and crash into Jieiqong's warm embrace.

 

With Jieqiong's sweet whispers and gentle hands rubbing circles at her back, Chaeyeon soon calmed down and dried her tears up. Both of them pulled away with their eyes locked with each others. 

 

"I love you." Jieqiong smiled sweetly. 

 

"I love you more, Kyul." Chaeyeon replied as she kissed Jieqiong's lips, letting it linger longer than usual before pulling away. 

 

"Let's go to my room and catch some sleep." Jieqiong offered and pulled the latter into her shared room with Eunwoo who was snoring away. Chaeyeon was careful about not to wake the girl up but Jieqiong assured her about how Eunwoo won't be awake even if theres fire in the dorm. 

 

Both of them managed to cuddle and fit into Jieqiong's super single bed. Chaeyeon could literally feel the younger's body against hers. It makes Chaeyeon nervous though it wasn't the first them they had been this close. But it was the first time after they fought and broke up. Her face begin to flush  in crimson red as Jieqiong pulled her even closer until their faces were just inches apart.

 

Her blushing cheeks unfortunatly didn't pass Jieqiong's eyes, "Aww looks who's blushing." 

 

Chaeyeon widen her eyes and cleared awkardly, gulping down her saliva, " Shut up, i'm just not used to this." 

 

Jieqiong frowned, "What do you mean? We use to cuddle alot back in IOI's dorm!" 

 

"I know. But this is the first time we are cuddling after so long." 

 

Jieqiong shrugged, and glanced at the time, "We should quickly sleep, its already five. We have another hour left only." 

 

The older nodded and steal a kiss from Jieqiong, "Hug me tightly." 

 

Jieqiong granted her wish as she placed her arm under Chaeyeon's neck and turn her body fully towards her with her other arm wrapped protectively around her. On the other hand, Chaeyeon did the same and snuggled herself into the younger's neck, making herself comfortable with Jieqiong's strawberry scent and warmth. 

 

She could get used to falling alseep in Jieqiong's embrace. 

 

 

 

 

 

Chaeyeon wished she had another five more bodies to help her. She was in a rush, it was a race against time. She have only an hour left before Jieqiong is done with her live recording and only half an hour left for her to finish up and rush back to the broadcasting station to prepare her surprise for the younger. It was the second last day of her free week so she wanted to do something special for the younger. 

 

Smokes were everywhere and undone dishes were left in the sink. Chaeyeon was so engrossed with her task that she had long forgotten about her team members who were throwing her complaints.

 

"Wow, look at her. She's cooking for her girlfriend and her group mates when she never even cook for us before!" Yebin whined as her hand get slapped away by its chef the second she was close to touching it.

 

"Don't eat it! It's for my Jieqiong!" Chaeyeon scolded and protected her dishes while the other members scoffed. 

 

"Tsk, are you placing your girlfriend over us right now?" Jenny glared daggers at the busy younger girl who was trying to ignore those distrubings from them. 

 

"Hey, answer unnie!" 

 

Instead of answering, Chaeyeon let out a long sigh before taking off her apron and throwing it onto the counter, scaring her members thinking that their visual was pissed off at them. 

 

"I'M FINALLY DONE!" All of them sigh in relief when they realised its just Chaeyeon being happy that she had won against the time. 

 

"Unnie, choose. Us or Jieqiong unnie?" Eunchae questioned with her puppy eyes, she knows how the older member would melt into her eyes and cuteness. 

 

Chaeyeon smiled and pinched her cheeks, "Aww how cute." 

 

"Of course its you guys    "

 

"   heh we know." Heehyun smiled as the rest cheered. 

 

"   That would be something that i would say in the past." The cheers died down instantly as Chaeyeon smirked her hands already grabbing the lunch boxes she prepared. 

 

"For now, my heart belongs entirely to my Jieqiong."

 

"You traitor!" Before the members could catch her, the groups visual had already ran out of their dorm with evil laughters.

 

Yebin could only facepalm, "She really loves Jieqiong, geez." 

 

"I'm suppose to be sad." Eunchae continued as she giggled, "But why am i so happy that she chose Jieqiong unnie? They are so sweet and cute!" 

 

"Oh shut it, you ChaeKyul shipper!" 

 

 

 

 

Chaeyeon was walking towards Plediz Girls' waiting room when she overheard a conversation between her girlfriend's manager and cheorographer. Chaeyeon wasn't the type to be eavesdropping others. But she couldn't help but listen when she caught her girlfriend's name being called out in the midst of the serious talk. 

 

"Do you think you can re-arrange the cheorography for the song?" 

 

"For? I think its pretty okay. We'll have Jieqiong in the center, she would gather all the attentions." 

 

A proud smile was formed on Chaeyeon's lips as she listened. Of course her beautiful Jieqiong would get those girls and guys oggling over her. 

 

"Yes, we will of course have Jieqiong as the center. But you know during the couple dance?" 

 

Couple dance?
 

The smile on the girl's lips ceased immediately. She didn't know there was a couple dance in their cheorography, as in well she knows there is but the last time she watched them performing, Jieqiong doesn't have a partner. Since it was during her part so she was just singing while the other memebrs were doing couple dance.

 

"What about that?" 

 

"Fans are requesting Jieqiong to join the couple dance with Nayoung, since she doesn't have a partner either."

 

The cheorographer thought for a moment, "it could be quite difficult, since right after Jieqiong's part, its Nayoung's rapping part already." 

 

The manager shrugged, "But you know, nowdays theres this shipping going on. We should try to satisfy the fans." 

 

"Alright, i will plan and think about it." 

 

 

A couple dance with Jieqiong and Nayoung? 

 

Ever since Produce 101, Chaeyeon was aware about this shipping thing.

 

DoChae

KyulChae

SeChung

SeSom

Dodaeng

 

Last but not least, NaPink.

 

Chaeyeon was also aware how they were also one of the ships that's the most popular ones.

 

She couldn't help but get jealous when she suddenly remembers how her girlfriend was clingy towards the leader and how Jieqiong used to get jealous whenever Nayoung's attention wasn't on her about at others. There were also rumors about the both of them being a couple for a short while during their trainee days. 

 

Jieqiong was never jealous about Chaeyeon choosing other people. 

 

Yet, another side of hers wanted to trust Jieqiong. She knew ho
